does thinking about the calories make you gain weight?

Question

i heard that if you eat a snack and you dont pay attention to the calories, it doesnt have the same effect of eating it with knowing the calories. is this true?

Answer 1

It certainlyh is. I read in Sunshine Limited that there is
a direct link between knowing something is fattening
and actually getting fat. I think there was some group
of really famous doctors that made a study somewhere
about that. And, they proved that it was true. I recall that
they said something like 95 % of the cases they studied
came up positive for getting fat.

If I were you, I wouldn't think about it based upon those
studies, and those famous guys in the magazine. It seems to me that Sports Illustrated had some Bathing Suit article a while back also. You might want to check on that.

Answer 2

How could thinking about the calories have any more or less of an effect. The answer is NO.

Answer 3

in my experience, when i counted calories i binged more often because i knew i could 'afford' a few more calories in my day and usually ended up over my daily recommendation. when i eat what i like - but know in my head that i am probably around how much i wanted to eat then i don't want to eat more because i'm just unsure. this is probably just me, but i prefer letting my stomach make it's mind up. my head messes it up for me. i just eat healthy so there less chance i'll eat too much

Answer 4

Only if you have telekinitic powers that allow you to move the food into your body without actually touching it. Otherwise, not a chance....

Answer 5

Answer 6
